The end of the hike but we could not get a signal to call our host! We waited until a nice French couple came by to help us. Apparently you must stand in the "right spot"

One of our lovely hosts at the hotel, Anna. Her son Peter runs the hotel with her. Peter also has a farm and the breakfast table includes homemade jams and marmalades, their own honey and pears. "Real organic", Peter said, "not grocery store organic". Also the most delicious yogurt.
